I have read tarot for years.

I believe that the cards don't mean anything until you know what they mean.

If I tell you that the Death card means death, then when you read the cards, that is what happens. Most people that read tarot understand the Death card as change, maybe death maybe not, probably violant(sp?) change, but only change.

And the whole reverse thing is annoying, until you learn the cards upright don't read them as reverse.

Try the Rider Tarot. Most of the symbolism is drawn on the cards, and most people have seen that deck and have the same understanding of the meanings. Lots of books for that deck too. And use the Celtic Cross before trying other things, or even start with Past Present Future. Use the cards to guide your mind. They help you understand someone, they don't tell you "Fred will die at 3:00 on next Thursday in a boat", but you might be able to tell Fred be careful of traveling by water in the near future.

And I believe in the heart of the cards (to quote Yu-Gi-Oh). I have done to many readings for myself and others that come true. Whenever I read the cards for me (or had them read) I always (90 % of the time) got the Queen of Swords. I am now married to her, and now the card hardly ever shows up in a spread.

Oh, and don't let Tarot guide your life. Use it as suggestions, not absolute truths... Pretty much like anything else.
